ShiftPixy: Proliferating the Gig Economy in the Restaurant Industry

RACHEL BRILL – Foodable, June 13, 2018 | On this episode of On Foodable: Industry Pulse, we talk to Steve Holmes, co-founder of ShiftPixy as he explains the human capital management platform.

The app allows for operators and shift workers to gain access to a mobilized contingent workforce and stand out in the Gig Economy.

“We’re doing all the validation as far as all of their employee paperwork, we’re doing all the MVRs for people that drive, and we’re taking that whole thing away from the employer,” said Holmes at the NRA Show 2018. “For shift workers, it allows them to piece together multiple part-time jobs. It creates that whole flexibility and independence that they’re seeking.”

The platform syncs work opportunities for part-time employees to operators utilizing ShiftPixy. Holmes explains that for the operator, the platform focuses on turnover.

“Turnover is sapping the very profits out of operators, our operators can self deliver. So they get to preserve their brand, they get to preserve their identity and customer experience, keep their revenue instead of giving it up to a third party. So we’re giving them access to this new paradigm where people are engaging opportunity right at their fingertips, ” said Holmes.
